beads/crew/dave f03c754df1 refactor: move Claude Code plugin to dedicated subdirectory (GH#985)
Move all plugin content to claude-plugin/ subdirectory for cleaner
separation from core beads functionality:

- claude-plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json - plugin manifest
- claude-plugin/commands/ - all slash commands
- claude-plugin/agents/ - task-agent (now in correct location)
- claude-plugin/skills/beads/ - beads skill with resources

Root .claude-plugin/ now only contains marketplace.json pointing
to ./claude-plugin.

Note: After updating, users may need to clear plugin cache:
  rm -rf ~/.claude/plugins/cache/beads-marketplace/

Fixes #985

description: Compact old closed issues using semantic summarization argument-hint: [--all] [--id issue-id] [--dry-run]

Reduce database size by summarizing closed issues no longer actively referenced.

Compaction Tiers

  • Tier 1: Semantic compression (30+ days closed, ~70% size reduction)
  • Tier 2: Ultra compression (90+ days closed, ~95% size reduction)

Usage

  • Preview candidates: bd admin compact --dry-run
  • Compact all eligible: bd admin compact --all
  • Compact specific issue: bd admin compact --id bd-42
  • Force compact: bd admin compact --id bd-42 --force (bypass age checks)
  • View statistics: bd admin compact --stats

Options

  • --tier: Choose compaction tier (1 or 2, default: 1)
  • --workers: Parallel workers (default: 5)
  • --batch-size: Issues per batch (default: 10)

Important

This is permanent graceful decay - original content is discarded. Use bd restore <id> to view full history from git if needed.

Useful for long-running projects to keep database size manageable.
